    Re: Hirata Rina / 12th Generation

    Watched her in the 120109 Team 4 LOD last night. She's got so much spunk and energy. While some of the girls looked like they would rather be anywhere but at the performance, Hirari really looked like she was enjoying herself and the opportunity to perform.

    I think she could be a star, but I'm afraid she isn't getting the attention she deserves. :cry:

    I'm sure a lot of ppl hate her high-pitched voice, but watch this.
    skip to 1:00 if you can't stand the high-pitched voice.

    In the first 12th gen performance, she said that her dream was to sing a solo in English. Let's support her!

    I'm probably in the minority that doesn't mind/likes her high voice :)

    She seemed to be everywhere at the handshake event yesterday, especially on tgsk's G+ stream.

    She was in two mini-lives - Idol Nante Yobanaide and Saboten to Gold Rush!

    Then she uploaded about 3 videos afterwards :lol:

    Handshake monster indeed [clap]

    Re: Hirata Rina / 12th Generation

    Hillary made a post about G+ senbatsu. Apparently AkiP was seriously considering her and Wasamin, but they couldn't make it because they're under 18 and the sponsor wanted 18+ members to do it.

    I'll translate (hopefully, hillary rarely uses kanji so it's hard to translate properly)

    god that quote from her mom ;A;

    ^ Thanks for the translation! (too bad she doesn't have an English G+ page yet)

    Aki-P commented and shared this post on his G+ too - very impressed!

    What an exciting weekend she must have had. I think there will be more good things for her in the future.

    Re: Hirata Rina / 12th Generation

    Here is a post for AkiP. The way it is translated implies that Hirari was actually selected (not just being considered) but that the sponsor wanted it changed. Or course, these official translations are a bit off sometimes.

    I was really disappointed the other day when I heard that the G+ group would be 18+ only. I really thought that Hirari had a shot at it and that it might really be a break through for her.

    AkiP also made a post telling everyone who didn't make it to not give up and that he had something new planned for April. Maybe she will get an opportunity then!

    I remember commenting the same thing on Hirari's G+ when I watched her videos for the first time. [clap] [party]

    It seems like she was too happy about it that she went mad :XD:

    It looks like they will put her English skills to good use since they have selected her for the team coming to perform at the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D.C. in a few weeks. I look forward to seeing her and all the other girls I haven't seen in person yet.

    No surprise she's going. I wouldn't be surprised if she ends up with most of the MC work. Hope she can handle the pressure, if she does well.. we really need to petition to get her the open spot in team B.

    Comment and ask for English subtitles if you want them guys, maybe she'll respond. I have, Lonehunter has too. Be better if she does it herself, rather than one of us doing it.

    She made her A6 debut on 3/10 (along with Kaoru)

    During the Give Me 5 encore she played keyboard. The performance is up on the LOD thread.

    There is also a great bit during the 2nd MC where they talk about how she sings the English words in Cactus and Gold Rush.

    With all her exposure, I hope she's gets promoted before the year is over.

    I asked her to add subtitles in English for her international fans who don't understand Japanese, and she +1'ed me :XD:

    Hopefully that means she will do so when she has time, if nothing else she knows we're watching.
